They symbolically presented a suitcase of fake bank notes to UEFA, illustrating perceived hypocrisy regarding integrity and fairness. Mickey Grafton, a key member, stressed the urgency for action due to perceived injustices affecting the club. A delegation also delivered a demand letter to UEFA’s president for reinstatement before Palace's impending appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
